Description
The Elkin Funds of the Winston-Salem Foundation support projects benefiting residents of the Elkin Tri-County core in North Carolina. The funds combine three trusts established by Richard T. Chatham, Lucy Hanes Chatham, and citizens of Elkin. Grants ordinarily help organizations initiate, expand, or improve direct services, and a community advisory committee based in the service area selects projects for support.
Past grants have supported counseling, education, food assistance, emergency supplies, dental care, patient advocacy, and services for people experiencing homelessness. The committee encourages collaboration among organizations with similar missions. The Foundation administered the annual application process before 2027 and will post information about the opportunity’s future on the program page.
